Day 3 - Georgetown Street Arts

We finally managed to spend time in Georgetown at places we originally planned. We parked near Nasi Kandar Line Clear as we wanted to go to Pasar Chowrasta. We ended up buying vadey again at a street hawker near the police station (we bought some yesterday and they were awesome!), and then bought jeruk at the street next to Chowrasta. Like I said before, we met very nice and friendly people in Penang. The kedai jeruk we went to belonged to this Abang who is a cyclist (waahh... boleh connect gitu!). He once cycled to Scotland with 3 other guys and the newspaper cuttings were all over the wall. He even suggested some places we should go to eat instead of the "cut-throat tourist places", he said. We promised next time :)

We then followed the direction he gave to go to Lebuh Chulia to see street arts. And what a wonderful time we had. Walaupun terpaksa jalan jauh (ada bikes for rent tapi we didn't have much time to spare), we managed to see a few. At one point, we were at Little India and tried to find the hotel we were supposed to stay, tapi tak jumpa. We made friends with tourists from other countries (hahaha... we all kan tourist!). There was a couple from India with a baby in stroller who came asking us where to find a certain street art. They then told us where to find a few they already found. It was like a game of treasure hunt! A single (quite handsome Mat Salleh) came while we were about to take photo. He looked uncomfortable, so we asked him to go first. He took a few photos of the famous swing, I then offered to take his photo for him. Hehehe... He stayed on a few minutes after that taking more picture, then hesitantly walked away. I guess if we had more time to spare, we could be friends :). Mengorat Mat Salleh gitu!
 Metal art...
